STOVE.

Application filed January 22, 1923. Serial No. 614,245.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Isaac Toni. BLACK, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing in Salt, county of Waterloo, Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented ce r tain new and useful Improvements in Stoves, of which the following is a specificat-ion.

My invention relates to improvements in stoves, and relates more particularly to kitchen ranges, and the object of the invention is to construct a stove so as to facilitate the heating of the water in contact reservoir, and in the following specification 1 shall describe my invention, and what I claim as new will be set torth in the. claim forming part of this specification.

Fig. 1 is a vertical central longitudinal section through the rear portion of a conventional type of kitchen range, showing the same embodying my invention. This view also shows a contact reservoir in end elevation. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the kitchen range, with certain parts broken away to further illustrate my invention.

In the drawings, like characters of reference refer to the same parts.

A is any conventional type of stove, and any conventional type of oven therein. Formed in the wall C of the oven i a port or opening D, and this port or opening opens into a conduit or boxing E removably mounted in the space F formed between the wall C and the end wall G of the stove. Also formed the end wall G and communicating with the conduit or boxing E is a port or opening H. I is a conventional type of contact water tank, and the same is supported by the stove in any well-known manner not germane to this invention. Upon referring particularly to Fig. 1, it will be observed that the inner side of the contact water tank I closes one end of the port or opening E and it is therefore evident that heat escaping from the oven B through the conduit or boxing E will play directly against an area of the inner side of said contact.- water tank equal to the area of the port or opening H.

Any suitable damper or cut-off may be employed to control the passage of heat from the oven B through the conduit or boxing The preferred form of damper 2 is associated with a rod 3 one end of which projects through the front side of the stove to form a handlev 4. This rod is pivoted in the vertical walls 5 of the conduit or box- 111g E, and when the damper is closed, it contacts with plates 6 interiorly associated with said vertical walls so as to give a substantially complete closure to retain the heat in the oven B when required.

The said conduit or boxing E is made of two parts as shown clearly in Fig. 2, which parts are provided with ears or lugs 7 which are bolted together. If desired, dividing plates 8 may be coupled to the conduit or boxing E through the medium of the bolted ears or lugs 7 thus dividing the space F into two parts.

Any suitable means may be employed to mount the conduit or boxing E in place: the preferred construction for this purpose consists in providing the vertical walls 5 with ears 9 so that nuts and bolts commonly designated 10 and held in the walls C and G may pass through these ears.

The damper 2 is assembled or mounted within the conduit or boxing E beforethis boxing or conduit is mounted in place, and in case it be necessary to repair said damper, this can be quite readily done, and at less expenditure of time than apparently is necessary to make like repairs in the prior art.

What- I claim is:

In combination a range embracing an oven having a port or opening formed in the rear wall th reof and further embracing an outer wall spaced apart from the rear wall of said oven and having a port or opening formed therein in alignment with the port or opening formed in the rear wall of said oven; a conduit or boxing vertically divided to form two separable parts, located in the space between said walls, and substan tially of the same size as the ports or openings therein; a damper mounted within said conduit or boxing, and means whereby the component parts of said conduit or boxing are individually coupled to the rear wall of the oven and the outer Wall of the stove.

ISAAC TOLL BLACK.
